King Chanticleer Songtext
von Doris Day

When the sun begins to rise you′ll see a light in the eastern skies
You'll hear a rooster crow
All the animals appear when they hear that cry of Chanticleer
They′re up and on the go

Howdy there folks, say how ya been
Good morning ladies, my, aren't we thin
Hi there, fella, lemme see that grin
Time for the jubilee


Round the barnyard goes the mighty cavalcade
Gorgeously arrayed, see them on parade
All the animals assemble there, as the break of day draws near
All the crickets, bees and birds upon the wing
Soon begin to sing, hear the chorus ring
Though they often try, they never beat the cry of Chanticleer

See the turkey chicken reel without a care
And the chicken there do the grizzly bear
While the goat begins to castle walk
Till you want to stand and cheer

When the ducks begin to do the turkey trot
They get plenty hot, give it all they've got
But they can′t compete with the struttin′ feet of Chanticleer

(When the crickets, birds and bees upon the wing
All begin to sing, hear the chorus ring
Though they often try, they never beat the cry of Chanticleer)

Oh, life is fine when you rise and shine
With the king of the barnyard

King Chanticleer
